Our Activities

Annually

• "East Meets West" (EMW) of Arkansas Lunar New Year Luncheon: The EMW is our largest annual in-person gathering, bringing together representatives of the business and Asian communities to celebrate the Lunar New Year in Little Rock. Our 2025 lunch also marked a major milestone for the AAAB: we announced the winners of the first-ever Arkansas Asian-Owned Business Award (AOBA).
• "Global Talent of Arkansas" (GTAF) Forum: Held each fall, the GTAF convenes business-minded individuals across industries and cultures dialogue on Asian economic trends and opportunities, attracting and managing global talent in Arkansas, and building stronger cultural bridges between Asia and Arkansas.
